Marley Coffee Comes to 1stinCoffee.com Mon!

Extremely reflective, Bob Marley constantly looked at the world and at himself with the desire to make a difference. It came through in his music, which in so many ways is a poetic call to every individual to shape themselves and the world they’ve inherited into something better. His lyrics worked to instill a sense of pride and strength in the face of injustice and adversity.

An international success and cross-cultural inspiration, Marley began his life humbly in the rural areas of Jamaica. It was his hope to eventually return to his roots and work the land. Marley’s son, Rohan, has worked to combine his father’s philosophy and love for farming by co-founding Marley’s Coffee with his friend Shane Whittle.

Marley’s Coffee is an organic coffee company that strives to support local communities and the environment by adhering to environmentally sustainable and socially ethical practices. It has been said that “…intellectual activity has to be informed by the arts of the imagination…” It is by working to help the people: the farmers and children of the local communities, that Rohan and Whittle have honored Bob Marley’s fierce desire to better the world. By working solely with like-minded free-trade farmers in Indonesia, Ethiopia, Jamaica and Central America, Marley’s Coffee remains at the forefront of sustainable development.
